• General Tadamichi Kuribayashi : [Tadamichi turns up in time to stop Ito from beheading Saigo and Shimizu]  I don't want you to kill my soldiers needlessly. Put down your sword. Put it down!

  [Ito sheathes his katana and salutes] 

  General Tadamichi Kuribayashi : What's going on here?

  Lieutenant Ito : These men ran from Suribachi.

  General Tadamichi Kuribayashi : Lt. Ito, I gave the order that all survivors retreat to the north caves.

  Lieutenant Ito : [embarrassed]  I am very sorry, General. It's just... Suribachi... has fallen.

  [Tadamichi rushes to a cave opening and sees Mount Suribachi from a distance, with a U.S flag raised on the summit]
